Is that a lot?

The rows in the top or bottom tenth of the products that list the same ingredient, and any above the adult upper limit at the most servings a day the directions give:

  • At 2 servings a day, the most its directions give, the label lists 80 mg of zinc, 2 times the adult Tolerable Upper Intake Level.
  • 96% of the 313 products that print an amount of yohimbe list more than its 1.5 mg of yohimbe (median 31.3 mg).

The NIH database records 1 to 2 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
